Rockin’ for the Smile is going to bring in three bands to raise funds and awareness for Operation Smile. Michelle Raymond, a Sweet Briar alumna, and the Michelle Raymond Band are coming from Washington, D.C. Point of Honor is coming from Lynchburg and Roanoke and Swing and Miss is coming from Danville.

Rockin’ for the Smile is open to all Sweet Briar College students, faculty and staff, as well as the neighboring communities. Admission for non-Sweet Briar attendees is $2 per person. Limited refreshments will be available.
